This is... Shang Jiuming.
Shang Mingyi's biological children.
The current legitimate heir of the Shangmou family!
He wore a brocade robe with auspicious clouds, a direct disciple of the dean, and a jade pendant at his waist was worth ten thousand taels of silver. The sword he held was the top-grade, radiant gold weapon that Shang Yanting had used at the Shang Mou family's residence, named—Dragon's Roar!
Jia Xitong recognized him immediately upon seeing this precious sword.
He walked in slowly, surrounded by people, and looked down at Shang Yanting with a superior gaze. He said in a calm and unhurried tone, "You are Yan Qing, the disciple who injured my cousin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him looked at Shang Yanting coldly.
The senior brothers who were originally standing behind Shang Yanting stepped forward, intending to block him.
But they were all stopped.
Shang Yanting stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled. "Is this all Senior Brother came to talk about?"
Shang Jiuming frowned slightly. "I don't really like the way you look at me."
"There are many unpleasant things in the world, and my senior brother is a bit pretentious."
"How dare you!"
"How dare you speak to Senior Brother Shang like that!"
Before Shang Jiuming could speak, several of his henchmen beside him shouted, "You think you're so important, Qing Shuang Peak?"
"What does Jin Yang Peak mean by this?"
The senior brothers behind him stood up and shouted, "It's none of your business how big Qing Shuang Peak is! Where did this mad dog come from, biting people like this!"
"You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, the opponent drew his sword, but the senior brothers did not back down.
The atmosphere at the entrance to the trial instantly became tense.
"Hu Qian, put your sword away."
Shang Jiuming ordered his men to put away their weapons, his cold gaze sweeping over the Qing Shuang Peak members. "Before the trial, we Jin Yang Peak members do not harm our fellow disciples. However, the Shang family is extremely protective of its own. Since you have injured my cousin without any remorse, don't blame us for the swords being merciless during the trial."
After he finished speaking, he left with his men, leaving the disciples who were watching around him whispering among themselves.
"Qing Shuang Peak is doomed. The trial hasn't even started yet, and they've already offended Senior Brother Shang."
"Who told Yan Qing to be so tactless? He injured the young master of the Shang family and his fiancée during a competition for newcomers, and he was still acting so arrogantly just now."
"It's not certain who will win or lose. Yan Qing is the champion of this year's newcomer competition. His strength is terrifying. Many of the older disciples here may not be able to beat him."
"What you're talking about are ordinary disciples."
Shang Jiuming's fanboy gave the new disciple who spoke a disdainful look, "Senior Brother Shang was the champion of last year's individual competition and the dean's personal disciple! His strength is far beyond what a new champion can compare to."
“That’s right! Senior Brother Shang is a famous genius in the academy. He has already reached the level of Martial Master before he turned thirty this year. If Yan Qing wants to catch up with Senior Brother Shang, it will take at least 20 years! Moreover, if we really wait 20 years, what level will Senior Brother Shang have reached?”
"Moreover, look at Senior Brother Shang. As the Dean's personal disciple, he puts the overall situation first, and as an elder brother, he values loyalty and righteousness. Unlike the people of Qing Shuang Peak, whose character is completely corrupt."
When Shang Jiuming was mentioned, the disciples' faces were full of admiration.
The surrounding disciples nodded in agreement. How could a new disciple who could injure two fellow disciples with a single move and was of a cruel nature be compared to Senior Brother Shang, who was kind to his brothers, of noble character, and of exceptional talent?
Yan Qing's reputation among the disciples undergoing the trial plummeted.
In order not to offend Jin Yangfeng and the merchants, these disciples all intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from the people of Qing Shuangfeng.
The eldest brother thought that Qing Shuang Peak and Sheng Yang Peak had a good relationship and wanted to visit each other more often to enhance their friendship. However, as soon as he approached, the small circle that had been gathered together dispersed.
He was so angry that he took two deep breaths; these people were just too snobbish.
